SCOOT
Task Cards
Teach you r students the
routines and rules of SCOOT!
 Thank you for your download.
I designed this set of SCOOT Task Cards to better prepare my students for
playing SCOOT! We play SCOOT all year long, for a wide variety of topics. It is an
excellent way to use task cards to quickly review concepts. However, without clear
boundaries, SCOOT can be a disaster! So, I created this set to use at the beginning of
the year to simply practice how and how not to play SCOOT! It is a fun, engaging set of
cards that shows examples and non-examples and teaches students the basics of the
activity, especially because students can have a hard time transitioning from card to
card silently and quickly. Allow 45 seconds to a minute for each round then SCOOT! I
hope your students enjoy them, and I hope it makes it easy to begin playing SCOOT in
your classroom! While this is NOT editable, there are blank cards at the end if you’d like
to replace some to better fit your needs.
Please Note: There are 32 cards, and I highly encourage you to use all 32, regardless of the
number of students you have. Leaving some seats blank will help kids through the transitions when
you have absent students but still want to use all of the cards in a set. There are also a few cards
that DO NOT have the students write anything in them, and this is again a way to practice writing
in the correct box, dependent upon which card you are working on.
